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!

But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. Perpetrators of these scams will create a public group on Telegram to promote these investment packages that are usually accompanied by fake testimonies and sometimes advertised as being Shariah-compliant. Interested investors will be asked to directly message the representatives to begin investing in the various investment packages offered. In this regard, Sebi collaborated with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to reduce the vulnerability of the securities market to manipulation through misuse of mass communication medium like bulk SMS. Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, is known as "the Russian Mark Zuckerberg," for co-founding VKontakte, which is Russian for "in touch," a Facebook imitator that became the country's most popular social networking site. Telegram, which does little policing of its content, has also became a hub for Russian propaganda and misinformation. Many pro-Kremlin channels have become popular, alongside accounts of journalists and other independent observers.
