Of course it can when you take the very first verse of James and WHO it is written to.

James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

By the way Salvation by Grace through Faith alone is not a protestant principle, it is a BIBLICAL principle.

If you are here to push works based salvation through 1 verse in James, I think you are in the wrong place.
