The claim is that James is not using justification the same as Paul - in the sense of being declared righteous by God (legal declaration). But I don't see how that works:
22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 AndAbraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
It seems that God's legal declaration of Abraham's righteousness was based on works and faith.
