Am i right?

partially, love, real love is far too complex an emotion to be defined by two simple words, but these components are a good place to start.

Yeah, my favorite kind of love includes those two things in copious amounts. Not everyone thinks that way, unfortunately, so you have to be careful when someone claims to "love" you.

But yeah, take a lot of trust and respect, add affection, stir in maybe some solid work ethic, a few pounds of lifestyle compatibility, and we'll start to get there.

No.
Trust is trust.
Respect is respect.
Love is love.

There's a reason why there are different words.

If you love someone and you want to tell them you feel that way because you trust and respect them, that's your business.

Trusting and respecting someone doesn't mean you love them.

If you love someone, it doesn't guarantee you will respect and/or trust them; absolutely at least.
e.g."I love my dad, I don't trust him around alcohol since he's an alcoholic." or "I love my wife. I don't trust her with young hot males that constantly flatter her because I know her weakness for such things and how she responds to them."
Or "I love my best friend. But I don't respect him all that much because he's extremely lazy, can't hold a job, and is generally flaky, but I trust him with my secrets and know he'll never use them against me."

Am i right?

No,

Nah. I can trust and respect my enemies to be the way are....and not love them. Over 6 billion people on the planet and well can't fully agree what love is. But that's the great thing about love......it's all about how you define it.

Unfortunately those terms are all completely separate for a reason.

Respect can be given without love and trust. I show respect to everyone (personal guideline), because everyone is going through their own journey and I can at least treat them with that. I can respect someone and not trust or love them.

Trust is earned! In my case by people who are honest, genuine, and loyal when we interact. Because if you have shown me those traits you will get them without question in return.

Love is an emotion! It is probably as goofball said the toughest one to define. You can love or be infatuated with someone who has given you respect but who has not earned your trust.
