Not admitted into church, as lacking foundation (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unconfirmed

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'not admitted into church' is the first definition.
(not having had the rite of confirmation)

'lacking foundation' is the second definition.

'as' is the link.

(Another definition for unconfirmed that I've seen is " Not corroborated".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
