No way! There were thousands of species of reptiles that lived both during, before, and after the dinosaurs lived on earth. There were the synapsid reptiles, as well as the anapsid reptiles, which were mostly gone when the dinosaurs arrived. There were also many diapsid reptiles that lived during the time the dinosaurs did. Such species include deinosuchus, dimetrodon, gorgonops, Quetzalcoatlus, and rutiodon.

Which dinosaur is considered by scientists to be a reptile but not a dinosaur?
Your question is logically impossible. You must mean, "What prehistoric reptile is not considered by scientists to actually be a dinosaur?" The answer is that there were many mammal-like reptiles that predated the dinosaurs and were not dinosaurs. One example being Dimetrodon, which went extinct millions of years before the first dinosaurs evolved. Dinosaurs were not reptiles, but shared characteristics with both reptiles and birds. They were actually more like birds.
