From this interview (at the 16:06 timestamp):

Chris Arnzen: Yes, but what about his own view… he seemed to be denying that works were only an evidence of true justification and salvation. He seemed to be implying that… he seemed to be muddling the differences between the temporal and earthly covenant that God has with Israel in the Old Covenant, and how obedience and disobedience affected you, … with how one is justified before God and being given and entrance into heaven for all eternity with him. There seems to be a muddling of that difference. I mean, do you see a difference between those two things?

Doug Wilson: I would say it’s a muddling of categories. I do think I would probably agree with Steve that the fruit of belief is more than simply evidence. It’s more organically connected to saving faith than that.

In the book, “Reformed is Not Enough,” Wilson wrote:

"In the historic Protestant view, good works are inseparable from biblical salvation…Because this is the case, James can speak of justification by works. He is not speaking of rabbinical works-righteousness or Pelagian self-salvation or medieval merit theology."

Further from "Reformed is Not Enough" Wilson wrote:

Chori Seraiah notes the importance of this in questions of apostasy. “The means by which men apostatize from the covenant is unfaithfulness. The means by which men persevere in the covenant is faithfulness.” In other words, to assert that men fall away because their salvation was contingent upon continued faithfulness in the gospel is not to deny the sovereignty of God at all. …
