Please explain the difference. Not just in process, but in result. I am intrigued, since to me they're all just evil jews who hide their true identity for nefarious purposes.

Jewish converso would imply a ethnic Jew or a Jesuit with Jewish ancestry or a convert that formerly practiced Judaism but humbly and with good faith practices Christianity and follows Christ.

A crypto-Jew or Marrano, would imply eithet a Jew pretending to be a Christian but secretly practicing Judaism for safety reasons or so as not to get expelled or a Jew secretly practicing Judaism while maintain a Christian caricature to subvert the church. In the latter case, these were the notable usurers and slave traders.

Ah. I hold that there are no true Jew conversos.

Loyola definitely was but he wasn't a practicer of Judaism he just had past Jewish ancestry.
