In OpenPGP this is called a "keyblock".  The term certificate is used
only for some special thinks (revocation certificate).  Certificate also
has the bad connotation that a third party issues this; which is not the
case for common OpenPGP use cases

An OpenPGP keyblock is very different from an X.509 certificate.
