All Jews who did not convert were expelled in 1493, and many had converted in the century before. So they were at best third generation converts to Christianity. It would be incorrect to state that they were religious Jews (though they had as few scruples about engaging in slave trade as Christians did), but ethnically those conversos would be in part Jewish.
