When Philip IV recognised the validity of the privileges granted to the Old Moriscos from the Campo de Calatrava, he officially put them on the same level as the Old Christians from that region: they were equal in everything, and there could be no discrimination between them. However, the law is one thing; reality, as Pedro de Yébenes discovered when he tried to get the King's confirmation of the Moriscos' ancient privilege accepted in the Campo de Calatrava, is another. It was not enough to be a good Christian; that had to be proved on a daily basis, through actions and behaviour. The Christianity of the Moriscos had to be very visible, or else nobody would believe it.

The effort made to achieve this visibility becomes evident in the various wills and testaments that the Moriscos from Villarrubia made in those years. First, we notice that in many cases they would appoint one of the priests of the town to act as executor together with the principal heir: the university graduates Pascual González and Juan López Albacete, clerical presbyters, the priest Martín Sánchez, etc. Other details that stand out are the large number of bequests or donations to the Church, the Masses requested for both the deceased and his or her dead relatives, membership of religious brotherhoods, and the prayers offered to different saints. Let us consider some examples.
