with works is a dead faith (what james said in 2:17 of his letter). and it is that dead/false faith which he speaks against in v24 when he says what he does about a man being \"justified by works, and not by faith alone\". this is not the same sense as the roman catholic teaching on justification, which is based on a combination of faith and works[1] - the verse needs to be understood in the context of james' whole argument, for he cannot be teaching something contrary to the rest of Scripture[2].\u003cBR/\u003e\u003cBR/\u003ebasically the problem (though there are, of course, other non-trivial differences between the two) is that evangelicalism believes (being convinced that this is the clear teaching of the whole of Scripture) in justification by faith alone (and is pretty firm about this point, being one of the \"solas\" of the Reformation[3]), whereas the roman catholic church refutes this teaching[4], which logically leaves us with a \"faith plus\"[5] option - in this case faith plus works (and baptism...).\u003cBR/\u003e\u003cBR/\u003e\u003cBR/\u003e[1] article 2 of the catechism of the catholic church lists what they teach/understand about grace and
