And your mirror says you're IN the bathroom - but it didn't put you there! James is talking about how faith gets SHOWN to be genuine, not how sinners get SAVED from judgment. Different context, different conversation!
Want proof? The same James who supposedly preaches an 'anti-gospel' calls faith a 'gift from above' (James 1:17) and speaks of the 'word of truth' that brings us forth (1:18). Some anti-gospel! That's like calling your GPS 'anti-travel' because it tells you when you're off course!
Here's the million-dollar question: If someone says 'I've got saving faith' but their life screams 'I couldn't care less about what God wants,' who you gonna believe - their lips or their life? James isn't adding works to salvation; he's adding a spotlight to profession!

Telegram was co-founded by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, the brothers who had previously created VKontakte. VK is Russia’s equivalent of Facebook, a social network used for public and private messaging, audio and video sharing as well as online gaming. In January, SimpleWeb reported that VK was Russia’s fourth most-visited website, after Yandex, YouTube and Google’s Russian-language homepage. In 2016, Forbes’ Michael Solomon described Pavel Durov (pictured, below) as the “Mark Zuckerberg of Russia.” Again, in contrast to Facebook, Google and Twitter, Telegram's founder Pavel Durov runs his company in relative secrecy from Dubai. "There are several million Russians who can lift their head up from propaganda and try to look for other sources, and I'd say that most look for it on Telegram," he said. As a result, the pandemic saw many newcomers to Telegram, including prominent anti-vaccine activists who used the app's hands-off approach to share false information on shots, a study from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue shows. In 2018, Russia banned Telegram although it reversed the prohibition two years later.
