No, it is not the same as any other "trib" anything. The rapture occurs when the tribulation of the elect (church) is cut short (Matt.24:21-22) it is very plainly stated in the teaching of Jesus. Tell me this, what is the difference to you between tribulation and the "Day of the Lord" do you know? Your answer will tell me how much you have studied prophecy. It will be very telling.

Romans 5:
9Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

That of course does not mean that we will not pertake of some part of the tribulations, rather it does mean that we will not pertake of any part of the tribulation that is God pouring out His wrath.

...Luke 21:36...
I believe we should all be praying that we might be counted worthy to escape the coming tribulation:

"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man" (Luke 21:36).

But note that Jesus is speaking to the same believers, the same "ye," in Luke 21:8-35 that he is speaking to in Luke 21:36.

I believe we will escape the entire tribulation and stand before the Son of Man (Luke 21:36) only if we die before the tribulation starts (Isaiah 57:1, 2 Corinthians 5:8, Philippians 1:21-23). Many of us Christians will go through the tribulation (Luke 21:31; Revelation 6:11, 7:14, 9:4, 12:17, 13:7-10, 14:12-13, 15:2, 16:15, 18:4, 20:4).
