All you freelance projects, should be started only if they have been green lighted with the pre payment.
The response rate, gives you a hint on what kind of customers they might be, but it is only one of a lot of variables to consider.
Hey I'm a new freelancer I just wanted to ask what exactly is the meaning of the response rate? For example I have a client with a response rate of 33%, does this mean I have confirmation to start on the project or does it mean I have been mildly accepted and have to wait? Additionally do you absolutely need to receive a notification of prepayment or some soft of notification to begin?

Response rate shows how often a member is responding to personal messages, it has nothing to do with the freelancing. The answer to your second question is yes, you absolutely do need to receive notification about the prepayment, unless you like to work for free.
It means NOTHING. 90% of clients offers are shit. 90% of job seeking/searching is also shit. Any "freelance job" is shit (on CGtrader, Upwork or on any other platform).
But YES, if clients response rate is low, better is to not start any jobs before the prepayment.
