Yep! That sounds like the faith of Hebrews and James. Those epistles say that works ARE faith.

Actually not.. James tells us that our works flow from faith..not cause it

Apparently I should’ve phrased that better.

To use James’ terminology: The spirit is what makes the body a living body. Likewise works are what make faith a living, saving faith.

As the writer of Hebrews says, faith accomplishes its purpose after the works are done.
