ok bible-loving sola scriptura protestants, why sola gratia and sola fide are false?

take your bible and read james 2:14-26:

"14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?

15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.

16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?

17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.

19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?

21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?

22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.

23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend.

24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.

25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?

26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead."

i'm debunking protestant monergism (five solae) by using common sense. protestants think that works are not important for salvation, faith and grace are. i'll give an example from everyday life that proves that a person cannot be a believer if they don't do good things in their life.

let's imagine that we have poor people and something should be done about it. a protestant thinks that a person who says he cares about poor people, but doesn't give his own even if he has money, cares as much about the poor as a person who does something about it and gives money.

actions speak louder than words. your actions tell a lot about your values. your faith is reflected in your actions.

"jesus forgave our sins on the cross, so everything comes from grace"

protestants have a strange thing that they think that when jesus was crucified, it suddenly gives the freedom to sin as much as you want and never take real responsibility for yourself and others. he forgave our sins that we repent of. so forgiveness of sins means that god is not a long-tempered person who will throw you into hell regardless, even if you repent of your actions. it's not some kind of free pass for being allowed to be a brat. you still have an obligation to be a fit citizen. and if you regretted your actions, you would have a genuine desire to become a better person.

i don't understand that first jesus and his disciples gave numerous commandments about how life should be lived and then you don't have to follow them. so what's the point of even reading the holy gospel if you don't want to get anything out of it?

a monergist might think it liberating to be free of all responsibility. but that's exactly what's scary. isn't it a scary thought that salvation is not in your hands but is completely at the whim of god? isn't it a scary life not knowing your destiny? how is it fair for god to throw you into hell without deserving it? when you were responsible for your own actions, you would know what you would get. it is entirely up to you whether things turn out well or badly for you. it sounds fairer than some arbitrary protestant monergistic god who never even comes to tell you why you ended up in hell anyway.

it seems that because of this there is a lot of fatalistic thinking in protestant countries. it is not understood that the holy spirit can be seen in the change you make, which strives for the healing of everything around you.

which world is better? a world full of people who say they care but do nothing. or a world where one's principles are measured in actions? the latter has more moral backbone. the world would not seem so unpredictable and disappointing.
