Ruling on not doing ghusl after saying shahada

[Nitro Zeus]

I read on internet that the Prophet said to one who converted to Islam to make ghusl.

If I havent done ghusl after saying shahada, does that makes me a non Muslim? Or still a Muslim?

I understand this, but I was asking this because in past I have said shahada without doing bath and other things. I wonder, does that makes me a non Muslim? Or I'm still a Muslim?

No, that doesn't make you a non Muslim.

It's preferable and good to take bath when one takes the Shahada. But it's not obligatory.
