CPR for the lay person, denoted just CPR, there is no longer a pulse check for an adult, so once CPR is started, it will be continued unless the person begins to show signs of life.
In CPR-FPR (CPR for the Professional Rescuer) there is still a circulation check, so RB at 1 breath / 5 seconds is part of that certification.
To specifically answer your question, most people would do CPR and not check for a pulse on an adult, because it is not part of the curriculum.
For a professional person, they would perform rescue breathing with a pulse and CPR without a pulse.
