also, a charge is not an offensive foul? Or maybe a foul by an offender who has team control of the ball?

Bob is correct in that there is no "official term" that says "offensive foul" but don't let his concern with semantics confuse you. A player control foul is on the offensive player who is in control of the ball so yes, that is always an "offensive foul."
A charge is usually a foul on the offense, but it could be on the defense too. Charging just means that you have pushed or moved into an opponents torso. When a defensive player or an offensive player without the ball charges, it is generally signaled as a "push" foul because there is no mechanic to signal a charge. When the offensive player with the ball charges, you would signal a player control foul.
