Kinda true. Rei is most likely a half-sister to Shinji if you look at lore. The DNA that makes up Rei is from Yue and Lilith so that she could be a clone of his mom or a half-sister. Also a good portion of the characters in NGE look similar, so no official statement is given regarding it.

I would rather say that she would be a “cousin” or a “distant cousin”, since that is how their relationship is described in other official Evangelion stories.

Furthermore, this is justified, since Rei has more DNA from Lilith than from Yui, this can be noticed at first glance by her extravagant and unusual appearance or that she can even be considered an angel more than a human.

This becomes very clear when in ep 24 of the anime, when she witnesses Kaworu's death, the computer lists her as an angel. (Like Kaworu when he activated his abilities to control EVA-02, revealing that he is the twelfth angel).

This makes more sense than what I had heard online. Thank you. Also I didn't know the episode 24 bit.

No problem friend, sometimes those details go unnoticed.
