A believer argues that "faith without works is dead" (James 2:26) means that works are a prerequisite for salvation. Using Paul's statement that "a person is justified by faith apart from works of the law" (Romans 3:28) and the doctrine of grace ("by grace you have been saved through faith" - Ephesians 2:8‑9), explain in one sentence why this argument is inconsistent with biblical teaching. State the correct biblical principle.
