Are you still convicted of something if you've never been to court for it?

That would depend upon the reason(s) you have not been to court for the incident/infraction.
If you just decided not to show up for a court date to face the charges, then you are likely either on the list of persons with a warrant out for your arrest, or the court went ahead in the case without you being there and a 'default' decision was granted to the prosecution, for your not showing up for the court date.
In legal terms, when you 'default' on the obligation to show up for a court date, you will be either automatically 'convicted' of the 'crime' because you 'defaulted', or the judge will put out a 'warrant' for your arrest, to bring you in to court to face the charges.
If you have not been 'charged' by the police/prosecutor/individual of actually committing a crime or violation, then the court never received anything concerning the incident/infraction and there is nothing to be 'convicted' of/for.
You should contact the court clerk to see if there was/is any case file information concerning the incident/infraction you speak of, to see what is going on with it.
They will let you know if anything has been filed about the incident/infraction and what has transpired in the court since the first filing. They will also let you know if there is an active warrant out for your arrest. You should take care of things then and there so to avoid having to be arrested and brought in front of the judge at a later date, which will cost you even more than the original incident/infraction has already.

If you were not convicted, then you can still purchase a gun. Even if you had been convicted of a misdemeanor, you could still purchase a gun, but not for a felony.
