As far as the Inquisition was concerned, overt Jews were out of its jurisdiction; it only had jursidiction over Christians. Of course, these included conversos who continued to practice their Judaism in secret, but from the Inquisition's perspective, these were not Jews but Christians. That is what I meant by my comment. Jews who converted did so because of pogroms carried out, not torture from the Inquisition.
