Let's consider the following sentence:
"No matter how hard the government tried to convince us the war was necessary to secure our future I remained adamant it wasn't".

I'd like to know whether the bold part sounds idiomatic to you. Also, am I right to assume I can replace "remained" with "stayed"?

With kind regards,
