A different view of faith?

I am just wondering if one major difference between Protestants and Catholics is their concept of faith or saving faith. The Catholics believe that faith has to be living as James states. Protestants so put the stress on faith alone that they tend to deny an active faith that works as being a necessary aspect of salvation. Both the Protestants and the Catholics believe that faith comes from grace. Both believe we must put our faith in Christ our savior for salvation. The difference seems to be that the Catholics believe faith is as Jesus defines it. It is not a faith that just calls Jesus Lord and does not follow him. It is a living active faith. Protestants seem to be able to separate faith from a faith that is working. This seems not only strange to me, but against the gospels, against James, against Paul's statements about walking in the Spirit, against Revelation ....in short against the whole Bible--including the Old Testament
