For, my dear short-sighted man, can’t you see far enough to realise that faith without the right actions is dead and useless?

That is not part of the narrative...Has nothing to do with faith without works is dead...

It has to do with our own works (repentance) before salvation or God's works in us after salvation...

“That is not part of the narrative...”

It has everything to do with this narrative. Can someone claim to be a Christian when their life is in total contradiction to God’s Word? Can Jenner claim to be a Christian, accepted by God for eternal life, while living in unrepentant contradiction to His Word?

Does saving faith transform us, or let us wallow in sin? Can he claim to have saving faith if he rejects the Word of God?

I say no. And Jesus and Paul said no, too.
