Relative pitch includes also ability to name the note (or notes of
chord) when you have heard before a reference tone. This is possible
to train from zero and it's connected to knowledge of music theory
(like names of notes and intervals, structure of scales and modes,
structure of chords, harmonic progressions, rules for counterpoint...)

Perfect pitch includes also ability to name not only single note but
all notes of chord or cluster you hear, without reference tone. It's
gift from birth, and to be able to use it fully a person needs some
knowledge of music theory.

And some people with very good perfect pitch can even tell microtonal
deviation of individual tone or chord tones. A person with perfect
pitch can train this ability to make his perfect pitch even more
perfect.
