I think the player is still completely separate from both Chara and Frisk. You have to allow Chara to take control by killing monsters and increasing their LOVE, just as Frisk allows you to take control of their body, and even that has its limits. Frisk makes some actions on their own, like going behind the conveniently-shaped lamp and answering the phone.

But the most conclusive evidence that the player is separate from Chara is the fact that Chara addresses the player at the end of the Genocide route, thanking them for bringing them back and letting them destroy everything.
