"According to James, not written TO me but FOR me, my aunt's faith was dead. Is she in hell?"

Yes I do believe she is saved and not in hell.

You misunderstand me but then again I can be vague sometimes. I do not define works as James did , that being converted Jews who still kept the law in that context. Since I am not a Jew, it does not mean the same thing to me, like you stated, it was not written to us, but for us.

I see works like this. You are saved now what do you do with yourself? Your works are simply how you show your salvation in your life with your actions. This will vary from person to person. It can be turning from sinful ways, that being, getting drunk all the time, "sleeping around", cursing a lot, etc etc etc. When you turn from those things, it can be considered a work of sorts.

I am not trying to be confrontational, but if I have some error, please show me.
