The key question: does James use 'justified' in the theological sense or the dictionary sense?

The Debate Over James 2: Catholic or Protestant View 00:15:24 – 00:15:56

Applying the semantic range principle directly to the James 2 debate

The central hermeneutical question for James 2 is whether 'justified' (Greek: dikaioo) carries its full theological meaning (made right with God, imputed righteousness, freed from wrath) or its plain dictionary meaning (to acquit, declare righteous, show/prove/vindicate someone as right). This question, Mike argues, resolves the debate.
