Maybe I miss understood the intent of the original question. The
power into the box is a black and white wire with ground. The white
is Neutral, the black is hot and the bare copper is ground. The
question that was asked was whether there were " neutrals in the box
in addition to the hot".

Yes, that was my question. I asked it because I don't recall seeing
neutrals in a switch box. No reason there couldn't be - and I am no
electrician - but more common in my experience is neutral (white) to load,
hot (black) to switch, return to load (the return is physically white but
functionally black and generally marked as such). Of course, all my
switches are single pole, not double.



Yes, I've seen them like that. For my addition of an outlet I can
only do it when the box with the light switch is also where the
14-2w/grd wiring was run as the power source for the lighting circuit.
As such it could be thought of as a junction box as well as the light
switch box.
