Idiom for "don't put me with somebody together in the same sentence"

I am looking for an idiom used when people say that you are as good/bad as somebody, but you don't agree with it because you think you are not on the same level as them, or that you are way better than them.

Is there any idiom like "don't put me with somebody together in the same sentence"?


'Don't speak of me in the same breath as...'? 'Don't lump me in with..'?


Don't tar me with the same brush is an idiom I might use in this case. I originally thought it was a seafaring allegory, but it looks like it might come from sheep farmers marking all the animals of their flock with tar.
