Yep, that's the main difference.

So we agree that Chara's end-game is Soulless Pacifist. The reasons are just different here. I was referring to when you pointed out that they were supposedly in shock that you accepted the deal of selling your SOUL, and when you said Chara couldn't have meant a literal SOUL, so you only lost your SOUL metaphorically. In my theory, Frisk ACTUALLY lost their SOUL, Chara just lets Frisk do the work to do Pacifist, so Chara can then take over, laughing at our failed attempt to free everyone for once.. And that by trying to save everyone, we just set the humans on track for a very grusome ending.. (A painless ERASE wouldn't be in their nature if they would make Flowey suffer, seeing how much they hate humanity:We agree there.)

I say they want you to give up your SOUL so they can give the humans the bad ending they supposedly deserve. And you say it's to give YOU the bad ending YOU actually DO deserve. Except it's more of a punishment and making you suffer, and less "hey, stop killing everyone!"

Chara, I'm reformed. If you're going to keep doing that, I give up. I'm going back to Genocide, and for GOOD this time. ..We'll probably both even know more about this subject once I get analyzing to reaponding to to the final part of your post.

Post-death? That's what the second part of the post is for, when I analyzed WHY Chara became the way we see them as now, what their motivations might be.
