Without the legal conversion mere on going to church and attending the christan cremony you can't be barred from contesting election. So file a writ petition.

you cant be denied right to ocntest elections as you have not converted to christanity . the complaint has to be upheld by the returning officer and your application rejected . since it has not been rejected you cna contest elections

You declare yourself Hindu and get the benefit as desired. There is no legal hurdle in that event.
