As Jesus said the rapture occurs after (1) the days are shortened (2) false prophets arise (3) great tribulation happens and then (4) the rapture. The days are shortened from the current 24-hr day to a 16-hour day in the fourth trumpet, the man of sin arrives in the fifth trumpet when the bottomless pit is unlocked, the great tribulation occurs in the 5th, 6th, and 7th trumpets and the rapture occurs in the 7th trumpet. The wrath of God follows in the last 3 1/2 years. Christians are saved from that. I can't accept your "pre-tribulation rapture". My view of the Bible is a literal one without twisting or manipulating any scripture. I disagree that the "Tribulation" is the whole week. The Great Tribulation is the three "Woe Judgments".
