For gab​=Ω2ηab​, use the vierbein eμa​=Ωδμa​ and constant flat gamma matrices. The tetrad postulate and Γcab​=δac​∂b​logΩ+δbc​∂a​logΩ−ηab​ηcd∂d​logΩ give the displayed lowered spin connection. With L=γ​c∂c​logΩ, its spinor action is ∇a​=∂a​+[γ​a​,L]/4. The Lorentz index lowering matters in indefinite signature.
