Harmonization: James perfectly harmonizes with Romans, Galatians, and Ephesians when properly interpreted

When James 2 is read as about demonstrating faith rather than obtaining salvation, it harmonizes perfectly with Romans, Galatians, and Ephesians. There is no contradiction. Ephesians 2:8-10 itself mirrors this: saved by grace apart from works (v.8-9), but created for good works (v.10) — saved for works, not saved by works.
