Frisk starts their journey in the Underground (remember, its  not a game to them) and that is where Frisk's first SAVE point technically is. The only reason it ISN'T called one by game standards is because you've made no progress, and the purpose of SAVE points is to save progress. Asriel and Chara became a new being when their SOULs combined, so if they were to die while having a SAVE file, it wouldn't reset the time back to when Chara fell, since they are no longer "Chara", but a different being. What's most likely is that because Chara has never use their SAVE ability in the past, and the only was to retain memoires after time-traveling (reset) is by having had the ability before, the Chasriel body didn't retain memories after its death. Technically, it would loop around to infinity without them remembering a thing. And Undertale would be taking place in one of those timelines.
