I would disagree. The gauntlet was laid down with the Bible quote which is:

 14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has
no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15Suppose a brother or sister is
without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to him, "Go, I
wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his
physical needs, what good is it? 17In the same way, faith by itself,
if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

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

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

 20You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is
useless[a]? 21Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for
what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22You see that
his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was
made complete by what he did. 23And the scripture was fulfilled that
says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as
righteousness,"[b] and he was called God's friend. 24You see that a
person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.

 25In 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? 26As the body without the spirit is
dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

He was just quoting back what you had said.. in a different format.
