One elect

Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. (Romans 11:5)

The "remnant" spoken of here consists of Jews—Jews that God has seen fit to bring into the one Body of Christ.

As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. (Romans 11:28)

The term "elect" applies also to Gentiles:

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; (Colossians 3:11,12)

"Put on, therefore, as the elect of God."

There is no way in which God’s elect can be separated into Jew and Gentile. Once we receive Christ we become part of a new Man: Christ—Head and Body.
