Is saying "it seems so" in the context of joking about converting to Christianity considered an act of disbelief (kufr)? And what are the implications of that regarding performing ghusl (ritual bath), uttering the two Shahadas (declarations of faith), and the ruling concerning one's wife, knowing that the questioner suffers from scrupulosity (waswasah)?

What you uttered is an abomination that should not be joked about. However, it is not considered disbelief unless there is a firm intention or hesitation concerning it, neither of which occurred on your part. You must repent to Allah for this joke, guard your tongue, avoid obsessive thoughts, and keep the company of upright people.
