>James 2:24
The context is important here. In James 2:14-26, James is not speaking of eternal salvation but salvation from the consequences of sin in this life. It's a warning against idleness, against assuming that eternal salvation is the end rather than the beginning, against saying "Okay, I've got my get-out-of-hell-free card, time to keep living the way I was before" (cf. Romans 6:1).  When faith is "dead", it exists but is inert, not being properly used. Living faith produces good works. God will judge works both good and bad at judgement day (Revelation 20:12-13), but this is separate from salvation (Rev 20:15).

If I knew we were gonna be treating this as a super serious theological debate I would have provided the more in-depth response above.

Works are the result of a living faith, not themselves a prerequisite for eternal salvation.
