Nothing comes "alone" in life. Life is all relative to our relationship with God.! saved and lost live in their relationship to God, saved or lost, fulfill God's plan for them.!! Legal and practical are two important aspects of our salvation. What is "finished"/"paid" by Jesus on the cross is the "legal" part, the price of our salvation is paid in full to God; Now It is Just for God to forgive sinners,legally, Justified, and to save them ,practically, by sanctification, thus making their works holy, so God will accept,Justify them, based on their faith and their good works, because these works are done in faith and from a pure, holy nature. Rom. one is the Sanctification part of sal. with the good works that follow the new birth and shown in Rom.2 . Thus only born again, holy good works sinners, will be justified by their good works, as ch 2 teaches, " only those who "do the law will be justified". This is what harmonizes with James chps.1 and 2 . "justified by works". James never mentions the "legal" part of Justification; and Eph. is basically all practical holiness, and so Paul, in Eph. only has a couple, short lines, about our justification by faith, This "positional" Legal" aspect of Justification is mostly in Romans 3-5:18 and Gal.. In both books, Paul mixes the "practical ,new birth aspect, like Gal.1:5, "called" born of God,and 2:20, old nature crucified in, with, Christ. and the ever so clear,!! 6:7-10, IF, we don't "sow to the Spirit", live holy lives, we will perish and not reap "eternal life", this is mixed with Pauls part on Justification's legal aspect, in chs. 2,3,4, The new birth has NOTHING to do with our Justification, position in Christ. Regeneration is destroyed by this foney teaching that it is only "positional" and not "practical, holiness of living".
