The 1492 surrender treaty explicitly protected Christians who converted to Islam from coercion

Evidence

Nobody may by word or deed abuse any Christian man or woman who before the date of the Capitulations had turned Moor. If any Moor had taken a renegade as his wife, she will not be forced to become a Christian against her will, but she may be questioned in the presence of Christians and Moors, and be allowed to follow her own will. The same is to be understood of children born of a Christian mother and a Moor. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 177
