No mother fucker, respect is the default. You’re supposed to respect everyone you meet. People can lose respect, and gain it back. But you don’t start at zero and earn your way to being respected. You respect every human you meet
i think it depends on your (not literally your!) definition of “respect,” no?
i respect complete strangers right to live their lives and try to follow the golden rule, but i feel like people who say “respect is earned” mean you have to beg to be treated like a person on equal person-footing.
i’m also not going to invite random people (or new neighbors, say) into my house for tea right off the bat, though. some might consider that disrespectful. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
This is like “respect is earned”.

nah, i think you start at like 5/10 respect, but you can earn extra as well as lose some. people don’t start at max

I would say that is trust vs respect.
You don’t start out as a respected craftsman/developer/engineer/mechanic/etc. It’s something you earn.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t respect someone as a person.
Either You’re confusing respect with respect, or you’re purposefully misinterpreting the expression.
