Faith without works is dead -imputed versus completed righteousness

This is notes to an mp3 download I heard on this subject that faith is necessarily completed by works, without which to talk of faith is not possible and works are the sina qua non factor and that significant portions of James 2 are conveniently omitted by Luther.

These notes above linked are very definitive on the question of faith versus works.
