The Spanish invasion was not a meeting of equals, where each side could try to convert the other. The Spanish generally had overwhelming military power. More importantly, they had magic that must have come from the gods (especially guns), and even looked like the gods. When the Spanish told the Aztecs to believe in Jesus, there was no debate and rarely any resistance - the Aztec people accepted the teachings of the Spanish.
