filter out one field component or the other."

Saying it does not make it so.

Countless Faraday screens are at work removing the E-field component
from electromagnetic waves. Faraday said that the voltage in a coupled
circuit depends only on the rate of change of the magnetic flux through
the circuit. He was refering to induced voltage. It was 1831 when
Michael Faraday observed the interaction between primary and secondary
coils in what was likely the world`s first transformer. Faraday made it
himself and noted that the needle of a galvanometer connected across one
coil deflected briefly whenever he connected or disconnected a battery
across the other coil.
