Rome still calls dead faith saving, as a distant preparation
Rome admits dead faith does not actually save, yet still titles it saving/justifying as remote disposition.
On that naming, saving faith can exist apart from charity and works.
Latin
XXXIV. Imo quamvis fidem mortuam ad salutem nihil prodesse, & ad justitiam esse inutilem fateantur, quia neminem actu salvat & justificat, nihilominus illam ornant saepe titulo salvificae & justificantis, quoniam, remote saltem, hominem ad salutem & justitiam disponit. Et sic, secundum ipsos, fides salvifica atque justificans a charitate & bonis operibus separata existere potest.
