A "remnant according to the election of grace" (Romans 11:5) doesn't mean God chose some individuals while rejecting others without anyone having any role in it at all!
It means there was a remnant characterised by their participation in God's gracious plan, rather than characterised by their attempted adherence to Moses' Law.
Paul had already discussed that participation in God's grace is through faith.
And 'election' is used, because this is the way God had from the beginning planned to do it.
