The Devils that believe?

Do the devils that believe as in James 2 become saved in the light of John 3:16?

17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Clue: Jesus came as a man/ Son of Man/ and died as man, not as an angel. He took on the sins of man, not angels.

well if there was a redemption plan for angels than they could be saved. but as of now, there isnt any.

Satan alos believes that Jesus is the Son of God, more so than many Christians, but that dont mean he loves Jesus.

Yeah I agree with others. The demons just believed in the way we use the word today. just an intellectual head knowledge. But they have not repented and confessed that Jesus is Lord. Which is a part of real belief in the way we use it in church and most of the bible. Belief in most of the bible is a whole transformation to something. if I believe in the lord then I am completely givig my whole self to him. This is definitely not what the demons did at all.

I think we shld remember also that the verse simply says:

19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe [this], and tremble.

ie what the demons are believing is that there is only one God. It's not talking about trusting in Christ and confessing Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

And obviously the devils would know since they are spirit beings in the spirit world and God is spirit.
